The speculation was reported this morning in WWD. Ruffieux achieved renown this past year when he and Luci Meier were tapped to lead Dior's haute couture and women's ready-to-wear following Raf Simons' departure. He held the post for the luxury label between October 2015 and July 2016 when Maria Grazia Chiuri took over. Prior to Dior, Ruffieux's resume included the likes of Gérard Darel, Sonia Rykiel et Moschino.
